Hi Herod,
Seemed like a reasonable idea when flogging around upcountry but by the time we ended up on base IS patrols I felt any problems would have been sorted by guys a lot better qualified than me (take your choice from Navy, Army or RAF - they were all there aching to get stuck in I thought), so turned my thoughts to getting a fridge or air conditioning unit shipped north but was unsuccessful as the supply wing had got wise towards the end of that debacle....
ah......happy days when common sense was a rare commodity
